quick question,just wondering if a 1.6 lsd would fit the 1.8?,was thinking of buying a 1.6 with aftermarket lsd for parts

The 1.6 is generally considered a weaker unit so not a route i would suggest.
Also if you get a 1.6 diff you will also need 1.6 half shafts and a 1.6 prop shaft as these are different lengths (longer) to 1.8 parts to account for the extra size of the 1.8 diff. Make sense.

ok thanks ash,if i did get one so it might be better to sell it and get a 1.8 one,would be alot of work for one a little weaker

Yeah pretty much mate, can't see it being worth it especailly as you would need to remove the hubs etc. if you can get a 1.8lsd then you only need to remove the halfshafts at the diff end, drop the diff and put the new one in. Easy!!!!

Ah come on Seán, we've had decimilisation , the punt and the €uro since £.S.D.

(Anyone under 40 will probably not get that one)
